Purple is the color in-between blue and red in the spectrum, therefore, when appearing as a dream symbol, it bears features from both. From red, it takes the vibration, dynamism, raw energy, while from blue takes the 'ability' to induce calmness, tranquility and peace of mind to individuals. Therefore, purple mixes together the 'wild' and 'mild', the energy and serenity in one's life, resulting in a metaphor for balance and equilibrium.

Purple is also acknowledged as the color of royalty and high rank and distinctions; therefore, when dominant in one's dream, it may stand for virtues and high moral values. It may also reflect one's ambition, perseverance, multiple skills and resources, which are going to help him stand out from the others. When premonitory, such a dream may foretell success and prosperity, one's rapid ascension on the social ladder.

Purple is also one of the chromatic symbols for positive traits of character such as kindness, generosity, altruism and readiness to lend a helping hand to those in need.

When interpreting purple as a dream image, we should take into account the fact that purple is obtained by mixing together two strong colors, one warm and the other cool. That is why deep or brighter shades of purple are usually related to enthusiasm, intense feelings, passion, dynamism and vitality, while softer shades of purple mostly denote gentleness, delicacy, tenderness, smoothness.
